A suspected drunken driver crashed into an SUV this afternoon on Tilghman Street in Allentown sending four people to the hospital, including a pregnant woman, according to police.

James Lauer, 53, of the 2000 block of Livingston Street in the city, struck the SUV, which flipped briefly entrapping two adults, Allentown Assistant Police Chief George Medero said.

Lauer fled and was arrested at his home a short time later on charges of suspicion of driving under the influence and leaving the scene of an accident, according to Medero. Lauer was being processed at the drunken driving center early this evening, Medero said.

The hit-and-run crash happened around 1 p.m. at Tilghman and 21st streets.

It was not yet clear the exact circumstances that led to Lauer hitting the SUV. An accident report is forthcoming, Medero said.

After it was struck, the SUV rolled over, two children were ejected and the adults became trapped, he said.

None of the victims suffered life-threatening injuries. They were transported to Lehigh Valley Hospital in Salisbury Township.
